Instructions

1. You will need your NetID

Currently enrolled UNR students, faculty or staff members are eligible for off-campus access to licensed resources. Your UNR NetID (or School of Medicine "MedID") is required for identification. The only exception is UNSOM adjunct faculty, who use their library barcode. What's a NetID?

UNR users must activate their NetID one time. You do not need to activate it again for off-campus access. If you have never activated your NetID, or can't remember if you did, activate it here.

If you try to activate your NetID and get a message that the account already exists, call the Help Desk to get your username and password. If you have a NetID, but cannot remember your username or password, call the IT Help Line at (775) 682-5000.

2. Click a link to one of our licensed resources

Click any link ON OUR WEB SITE to an article index, database, electronic journal, or course reserve item.

How to make external links (links NOT on the Library web) work.
How to make very old bookmarks or "favorites" work.

3. Login with your NetID username and password

You will be prompted ( Screenshot like this) to type your NetID Username and NetID Password the first time you click a link to a licensed Library resource in your current browser session.
